Seamless Migration to AWS with BlueXP
Enterprises aiming to transition workloads to AWS often face challenges in maintaining enterprise-grade data management capabilities like reliability, security, performance, and cost efficiency. NetApp's BlueXP addresses these concerns by enabling centralized provisioning and management of a robust cloud-based storage infrastructure on AWS. This solution facilitates seamless migration and data protection across hybrid cloud environments, ensuring a smooth transition without compromising on critical functionalities.
Flexible Storage Solutions for AWS
BlueXP offers two distinct flavors of ONTAP-based storage for AWS, catering to diverse organizational needs. Customers can opt for Cloud Volumes ONTAP, a customer-managed service deployed and operated through BlueXP, or choose FSx for ONTAP, a fully managed AWS service that can be utilized with both BlueXP and AWS management tools. These offerings are interoperable with each other and on-premises ONTAP systems, facilitating seamless data replication and integration for enhanced flexibility.
Efficient Data Movement and Protection
BlueXP streamlines the process of transferring application and user data between on-premises, edge, and AWS storage environments. By leveraging ONTAP caching, organizations can achieve low-latency access to remote data for tasks like file consolidation or cloud bursting. Furthermore, BlueXP enables efficient data protection mechanisms, allowing users to backup and replicate ONTAP volumes across regions and clouds to ensure business continuity in the face of potential outages.
Enhanced Data Governance and Security
NetApp's BlueXP empowers users to classify AWS data effectively, enabling enhanced governance and privacy measures. By scanning unstructured data for personal identifiers, organizations can address compliance requirements, optimize costs, and accelerate migration activities. Additionally, BlueXP enforces multi-layered security protocols, including volume-level encryption, immutable copies, access controls, and ransomware protection, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.
Optimizing Storage Consumption and Costs
To optimize ONTAP-based storage consumption and reduce costs without compromising performance, BlueXP offers several strategies. Thin provisioning and data reduction technologies like deduplication and compression help store more data in a smaller footprint, while tiering infrequently accessed data to object storage enhances storage utilization and cost efficiency. Leveraging NetApp Snapshot™ copies and cloning features further maximizes storage efficiency and minimizes capacity requirements.
